Your Roadmap to Success in College Golf

As a former NCAA Academic All-American, professional golfer, and college golf coach for nearly a decade, I’ve witnessed firsthand what separates successful college golfers from the rest.

Beyond physical talent, the ability to manage competition, pressure, and daily demands is what truly determines long-term success—on and off the course.

The College Golfer provides the essential strategies players need to thrive in the college golf environment while developing the life skills that lead to sustained growth and achievement.

Without a clear system for preparation, practice, and tournament performance, players often fall victim to pressure, distractions, and inconsistent results.

This book offers a roadmap to eliminate doubt, build confidence, and compete with conviction.

It’s about more than just playing better golf—it’s about creating a foundation of discipline, accountability, and smart decision-making that will serve you throughout your career and life.

If you’re ready to sharpen your focus, maximize your potential, and gain the competitive edge every elite player seeks, The College Golfer is your blueprint for success.

How to prepare and plan to play college golf at the highest level

"As a college coach I would highly recommend this book to high school and college players looking to get the most out of their game! James does a great job breaking down what is important!"

A great read for aspiring and current college players

"The college golfer is a great read for the aspiring or current college golfer…and their parents. The book breaks down the many aspects of experiences (both pre and post recruitment) into bite sized segments. Each segment has some great take-always to help guide both player and parent. I especially liked getting a clearer picture of what to expect at the collegiate level. An easy read filled with great insights."

A must read for all parents

"If you have a child who plays golf this is a MUST READ! That's al I need to say." 

Excellent book for any college athlete

"Berry does a terrific job weaving in the less talked about, but also important topics of required mastery - discipline, focus, motivation, and more. These topics can apply to anyone, athlete or not and regardless of age. This is a "how to win at life" book with a golfer on the cover. If you love working on yourself or if you love helping others succeed, you will love this book."

Amazing book

"The College Golfer is a very informative book on the aspects of playing golf at different levels where golf is competitive. The insight to what it takes to grow and move to next level really highlight what a player needs to do to be competitive. Would recommend this to golfers at all levels.

Fantastic book for anyone wanting to improve their golf game

"As I am not a college golfer, but I am instead someone in my early 40s, who is trying to improve their game, at first, I was not sure if this book would be a good fit for me. After reading it, however, I can say with confidence that my first impression was definitely wrong! This book provides great advice on how to maximize your mental strengths as a golfer, and also gives some great advice on how to carry those strengths through into your own life on a daily basis. It is written clearly, is very accessible for all, and is an easy, quick read. I highly recommend it for anyone at any level who is looking to improve their golf game, or, frankly, improve performance in any sport or aspect of their life. Thank you, Mr. Berry, for sharing your wisdom and experience with us!"

Everything you need to know about college golf

"This book is very well written and an easy read. I read this as a parent of a college golfer who has just competed his Freshman year. It has given me a wonderful insight and I would urge all prospective college golfers to read Coach Berry’s wise words. As an international parent being 5,000 miles away from my son’s college, it has really helped me to understand the college golf routine, challenges and opportunities. This book is the college golf equivalent of Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons - it tells you everything you need to know!"

Great for all golfers

"Amazing look at high level golf - even if you are not a college golfer you can get a ton from this book. I love the mental tips and action steps, as valuable as any personal development book too!" 

Best book for aspiring college golfers

"This book is one of the best books I have every read on the topic of golf. It gives amazing advice and information from a college coach on how to take golf to the next level. I would recommend this anyone especially juniors looking to play at the college level or just play better in general."
